1. Polaris is an Australian metalcore band. The band consists of vocalist Jamie Hails, guitarist Rick Schneider, bassist Jake Steinhauser and drummer Daniel Furnari.

On 14 November 2019 Polaris announced their second full length titled The Death of Me, released on 21 February 2020 through Resist/SharpTone records subsequently earning their second ARIA Award nomination.
Early career (2012–2013)
Polaris was formed in 2012 by drummer Daniel Furnari and Jake Steinhauser on guitar after meeting at their high school battle of the bands, quickly discovering a mutual love for metal and alternative music. The two then recruited guitarist Rick Schneider and vocalist Jamie Hails through mutual friends and word of mouth. Matt Steinhauser, Jake's brother, was brought on board to handle bass duties and completed the line-up with James West on synth/keys. The group began working on music together writing and recording their first single "Summit" and the majority of the Dichotomy EP in early 2012. In late 2012, Polaris announced the departure of both Matt Steinhauser and West. Guitarist Jake then switched onto bass to focus on his singing, as the band was pushing towards a more progressive sound.
The band began looking for a new guitarist, holding public auditions. On 18 November 2013, the band announced Ryan Siew as their new guitarist, who was 15 years old at the time. Shortly after joining the 'Dichotomy' EP was released on 29 November 2013 independently.
The Guilt & The Grief (2014–2016)
On 3 March 2015, the single "Unfamiliar" was released; it was the first track to feature Siew as lead guitarist. Polaris continued to write and finished an additional 5 tracks to complete their second EP titled The Guilt & The Grief. The EP was recorded with Sonny True Love and Evan Lee at STL studios on the North Coast of NSW, and it was mixed by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Atrium Audio in Pennsylvania, USA. The Guilt & The Grief was released independently by the band on 29 January 2016 and landed at #34 on the ARIA charts.
The Mortal Coil (2017-2018)
On 3 November 2017, Polaris released their first studio album The Mortal Coil through Resist Records and Sharptone Records. The album was nominated for the 2018 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album as well as for the Australian Album of the Year award at the J Awards.
The Death of Me (2019-2020)
On 21 February 2020, Polaris released their second studio album The Death of Me, also through Resist Records and Sharptone Records. The album has been nominated for the 2020 ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album. Sadly, longstanding guitarist Ryan Siew would pass away in June 2023.
2. Polaris was a one-off musical project in the mid-1990s involving members of the New Haven indie rock band Miracle Legion
Mark Mulcahy, Spot "Scott" Boutier, and Dave McCaffrey performed music for the Nickelodeon television show The Adventures of Pete & Pete under the name Polaris because a fourth Miracle Legion member was not available at the time; occasional guests included Joyce Raskin, Dennis Kelly, and Buell Thomas.
Polaris performed many of the songs featured on the show, including the theme song, "Hey Sandy", and its members took "TV names": Mulcahy was "Muggy", Boutier was "Jersey", and McCaffrey was "Harris Polaris." In addition to appearing in the opening credits of each show, the band featured prominently in the episode "A Hard Day's Pete", in which Little Pete (Danny Tamberelli) is mesmerized by a garage band's song (Polaris' "Summerbaby") and forms his own band to keep the tune in his memory.
Music from The Adventures of Pete & Pete, released in 1999 on Mulcahy's Mezzotint label, contains many of the songs Polaris recorded for the show and is the group's only album release.

Polaris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't know that you'd be such a short visit
Once a year I noticed that you're not around
Mama says you went when you were exquisite
If you seen all I done,
When I'm alone I do things nobody knows
Last night we were hypothesizing that you were an angel
Sometimes it feels like you're looking down
From up above where angels are found
If you seen all I done,
When I'm alone I do things that nobody knows
Every drop of sex, and every little mess I make
I was around, I was around
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody
Do you see a lot of angels up there like you?
Wolfgang and Vincent Van Gogh,
Have you seen Josephine?
Someone from town like Marshall Brown or someone you know?
If you seen all I done,
When I'm alone I do things nobody knows
Every drop of sex and every little mess I make
I was around, I was around, I was around
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
"Summerbaby" by Polaris is a contemplative song that combines elements of indie rock and pop that explores the emotions of the singer as they discuss a person they only see once a year. The lyrics express the desire to get to know this person better, and how they seem to have almost angelic qualities. The opening lines, "Summerbaby, come on baby, show me the town," express this longing to be with this person and explore their world. The next lines, "I didn't know that you'd be such a short visit, / Once a year I noticed that you're not around," suggest a sense of disappointment and fleetingness that is characteristic of many summer romances.
The lyrics then take a turn towards introspection as the singer muses on their own secrets and desires, singing "If you've seen all I've done, / When I'm alone I do things nobody knows." This self-reflection continues as the singer imagines the source of their love interest's seemingly angelic aura, asking if they know any other famous or extraordinary figures in heaven. The song closes with a repeated chorus that emphasizes the secrecy and elusiveness of the singer's connection to this summer love: "I was around, nobody knows, nobody knows...".
Overall, "Summerbaby" is a poignant exploration of the fleeting nature of summertime relationships and the yearning for human connection and understanding.
